Spring Break 2010

A much needed trip together is just a week away. Its Park City or Bust! I hope I make it - I get super motion sickness having two hitch-hickers tagging along in my body.

In typical DuRocher Style - we are cramming in as much fun as we can.

Day 1 - Lunch at Sundance - 2 hour Snow Mobile Ride in Park City.

Day 2 - Visit University of Utah and Westminister - things you do, when you have kids in high school. Visit Temple Square.

Day 3 - Snowboarding for the 3 of the crew - then I still need to figure out something for Rebecca and me. I couldn't interest her in a day at the spa - but I'm sure we will find something fun. Any suggestions - we are staying in Park City. Alpine Coaster for everyone but me :(

Day 4 - Cabella's, Park City Main Street - hit the road to Moab

Day 5 - Day in Moab

Day 6 - Day in Cedar City where Brian spent time growing up with his dad

Day 7 - Visit South Utah University - and go home

If you have any must dos - eats- shops - let me know!

Thanksgiving with Aunt Laura

So I know it's been forever since I last posted. We've been really busy and I've taken lots of pictures, but I have been too lazy to upload them to post. I'm begging my husband to help, because I hate uploading pictures so much, I've never learned how to do it, patheic I know.

Thanks to the main photojournalist of the family, my mom, I have at least 1 photo to post.

Over Thanksgiving, the kids were lucky enough to go to Hawaii with their mom. They had a great time, those lucky kids!!!

Brian and I were lucky enough to get to go to Arizona with my parents and brother and visit my dear Aunt Laura. She and my dad's mom were very close and Aunt Laura has always been like another Grandma to me. She has led an absolutley amazing life, traveling all around the world, fashion shows in Paris, living the high life in NYC (yacht club and all), working in Hollywood at it's height (and even with the beloved Audrey). She is still living it up, dancing with her friend Vic, yoga, winning golf putting tournaments, and giving me her latest Vogue magazines - she is always a lady of style, just look how gorgeous she is below. When meeting the Donald himself (as in Trump) just a few years ago, he summed up my Aunt Laura perfectly, "They don't make them like they used to."

It was Brian's and my first time to Scottsdale. We had a great time.

Highlights:

• Oregano's Pizza - so delicious, we went twice in 2 days and took 2 x-large home for the kids



• Shopping at the outlets on the way. I bought 2 pairs of AG jeans for $39 each AND they came in short just for me!



• Meeting Vic in person.



• Having Thanksgiving dinner with my Aunt Laura and family.



• Going to the USC game and watching the ASU team get severely embarassed.

Lowlights:

• Trying to get Gelato Classico twice, only to have it be closed both times. Brian still has never had it!



• Shopping on Black Friday. We thought about going to Fry's them went to the mall instead. My mom and Brian made out, but nothing for me.
